Does anyone know a way to cast DVD's to chromecast from a computer? I currently use my computer as a dvd player and I would really like to avoid hooking my computer directly to the TV.
Edit: I've found a work around for the DVD's I own. I currently back up my DVD's using Shrink DVD to network storage as ISO files, then use the Windows 8.1 mounting option to mount it to a virtual drive and play the movie on vlc. So to make it work one more step in the process is needed. I found a great converter HandBrake. So, if I convert the movies to mkv file format, it's just a matter of clicking and dragging the movie into the chrome browser and casting the tab.
This is feasible for the DVD's I own but if I rent a DVD I can't legally create a copy like that nor is the time required to convert the movies less than what is required to just plug the computer into the TV.
